Alan Tudyk's performance as Harry Vanderspeigle in Resident Alien is one of his most impressive.
Resident Alien, based on the comic book series of the same name, has received glowing reviews from critics, including a near-perfect Rotten Tomatoes score and a high audience rating on the site. However, despite the high praise, I'm surprised the series hasn't made as much of an impact on pop culture as some of Tudyk's other works. Because of this, I believe that Resident Alien deserves significantly more attention.

As the show's title suggests, Harry Vanderspeigle is an alien who assumes the identity of the real-life Dr. Vanderspeigle after killing him. The series allows Alan Tudyk to chew up the scenery as an alien pretending to be human. Additionally, Tudyk shines as the titular character of Resident Alien, an unusual but welcome occurrence in the acclaimed character actor's career since he has played a lot of ing characters.
The performer doesn't waste a second of this opportunity, delivering an engaging performance that's evolved across the show's three seasons. I believe significant fans of Tudyk's work for other iconic sci-fi programs should give Resident Alien a chance to experience one of his most unique roles to date.
